Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Materials and Technologies for Energy Conversion

Application Guidelines for Open Fund Projects in 2023
According to the requirements of “Administrative Measures of Guangdong Department of Science and Technology on the Construction and Operation of Provincial Key Laboratories” and relevant documents, and in order to drive the innovation and industrialization of Guangdong Province in the field of materials and technologies for energy conversion, the Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Materials and Technologies for Energy Conversion (MATEC) plans to issue the Application Guidelines for Open Fund Projects in 2023. Projects in 2023 adhere to the principle of being “basic” and “applied”, focusing on funding projects that solve key scientific and technological problems in materials and technologies for energy conversion. In order to make the funded researches and the researches of MATEC members complementary to each other, the 2023 open fund project will mainly support researches in the following areas, with an implementation period of 2 years.

Ⅰ. Supporting areas
1.1 Electromechanical conversion technology
1) Piezoelectric ceramic materials
2) Flexible electronics and energy harvesting/conversion design
3) Advanced simulation methods at electronic and atomic scales
1.2 Energy storage and solar cells technology
1) Multiscale modeling and device fabrication of solid-state battery
2) New material synthesis, interface design, and reaction mechanism for next-generation electrochemical energy storage
3) Advanced fabrication of long-lasting perovskite solar cells
1.3 Catalytic conversion technology
1) Microbial co-culture synthesis gas fermentation to produce butyric acid or alcohol bioenergy
2) Catalytic membrane reactors, electrochemical and microbial conversion processes for high-efficiency one-carbon compounds and hydrogen
3) Biomass upgrading and conversion technology combining thermal cracking, heterogeneous catalysis, and anaerobic fermentation
1.4 Advanced characterization technology
1) Advanced microstructure characterization technology, including synchrotron radiation, neutron scattering, ion beam analysis, etc.
2) Other advanced characterization technologies related to energy conversion materials

Ⅱ. Project category and funding amount
The funding amount for 2023 open fund project is 40,000 to 50,000 RMB each, 8-10 projects to be funded. We warmly welcome domestic scientific and technological researchers engaged in relevant areas to apply.

Ⅲ. Application requirements
Basic requirements for applicants: Applicants should have a doctoral degree and have a certain research background in related fields.
Deadline: The application deadline is April 15, 2023.
Announcement of the review results: April 30.
Cooperation requirement: in order to facilitate the management of the open fund project, the project applicant needs to have a MATEC member as the project collaborator when applying.
Application method: send the electronic application to yuehuan.kuang@gtiit.edu.cn. Overdue applications will not be accepted.

Ⅳ. Project closing requirements
The completion of the project is examined on the basis of the expected goals proposed in the project application. Projects that have achieved the expected goals will be documented as completed. For projects that have not yet achieved the expected goals, the project completion date can be postponed after receiving approval from the MATEC Open Project Committee. Projects which are not approved by the committee will be considered failed, and further open project applications by the same applicant will not be accepted within the next 3 years.

V. Project selection and management principles
The selection of the MATEC open fund project is carried out by means of the individual application, evaluation by the working committee, review, and approval by the laboratory director, and will be announced publicly. The approved projects will be published on the homepage of MATEC https://sites.gtiit.edu.cn/matec. After signing the open project contract with MATEC, the applicants are expected to start the research project within one month.
MATEC encourages scientific and technological talents from other universities to carry out scientific research at MATEC. The research team funded by MATEC open fund project should submit the annual progress report of the project at the end of each year. MATEC will organize an open fund work conclusion and academic exchange meeting in May every year, in which the supervisor or the key members of the funded project need to participate. A team of MATEC members will evaluate the progress of the research and decide whether to keep funding the project. When it is found that the plan cannot be completed or there are problems with the experimental scheme, the funding can be temporarily suspended, adjusted, or canceled accordingly.

VI. Management of research funding and achievements
Funding will be provided by MATEC upon signing the contract. All funds are expected to be used exclusively for research. The scientific research data, papers, and various reports obtained by the funded projects are shared by the Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Materials and Technologies for Energy Conversion and the researchers.
For the funded project, the following materials should be submitted to the MATEC upon completion:
1. Electronic version of the scientific research achievements (papers, monographs, patents affiliating MATEC), which shall be marked: Funded by Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Materials and Technologies for Energy Conversion (Project award number).
2. Project Completion Report
Note: the Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Materials and Technologies for Energy Conversion has the final right to interpret this application guideline.
